Summary
Here is what he knows: the Senate is a storm of blurring eyes, and burning voices. The halls of his house are for stolen days and private nights. The marble pillars on Capitoline hill are the pillars of Rome, and Rome is the pillar of the world.
There’s blood on his hands. It’s Caesar’s, and it’s Portia’s and Cassius’s, their faces swirling one after the other in his mind, interchangeable. But up above his bloodied elbows he stands stainless.
Or: Brutus lives for honor, fails for honor, dies for love.

There is no ghost, Brutus tells his empty room. There is no finality.
The man haunting the corner of his room could have laughed at him.
In which a haunting occurs before a murder has even happened. In which Brutus knows, and doesn't know, and refuses to know the truth sitting right in front of him.

It’s winter again, and the theater is open, and people in scarves and long coats fill the theater, breathing in the warm air. In a few minutes, Cassius will come on stage, a marionette to kill and die, kill and die. Over and over, in countless accents and voices, Cassius seduces Brutus, washes the blood over his hands, kills himself under a bright sky.

Summary
The three of them feel like a society: doors locked in the pitch of night, windows open but curtains shut. Cassius, leaning forward on his elbow and smoking a cigarette in Portia’s plum satin evening gown; Portia slumped back in her chair in Cassius’ slick black suit, a plain boring kind of classiness on him, a captivating look on her.

Summary
“Sorry,” he says, very quietly.
“For what?” Brutus has always had good hearing.
Cassius shrugs. Everything, he wants to say, because really all of this was his fault, and now he hasn’t got the glory he wanted, he hasn’t got the Republic, and now they’re left with blood drying on their hands and a fucking price on their heads.
Instead, he says, “Your hand.”

Summary
"I have no intention of dying for Julius Caesar," Cassius says, because the nearly-imperceptible flinch that crosses Antony's face when she says that name is the closest she's gotten today to feeling anything resembling satisfaction.
Antony and Cassius confront each other. The stench of war follows them.

Brutus leans over him. His shadow tangles with the tossed-aside bedcovers. "I wish it were that simple."
